Organisers and participants Slack Punks have assembled a strong bill to pay tribute to the late X and Evil Rumours guitarist Ian Krahe.

It's been a home to Powder Monkeys, The Cheater Slicks, Bored! and more recently the Lipstick Killers so when Aussie label Dog Meat discovers your band, you're in esteemed company.
That’s the enviable spot Melbourne's young Bayside Beat sensations The Gnomes have found themselves in as they gear up for the label to release their debut record. The Gnomes have unveiled their debut video, for new single "Flippin' Stomp".

They ripped through a powerful set at Melbourne’s Forum Theatre to celebrate 35 years of their classic “Black Milk” album a month ago and The Beasts are bringing the celebration to Sydney’s Factory Theatre on Friday, December 12 for a one-night-only show.
Joining The Beasts on the night will be The Johnnys, with additional special guests to be announced. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday October 9 at www.factorytheatre.com.au
Expect The Beasts to dive back into the raw energy and cult-classics of tracks like "Cool Fire", "Words From a Woman to Her Man", "Black Milk", and "Let’s Get Funky", alongside other early-era favourites that shaped their signature swamp rock sound.
This show is a chance to pay respects to two of their own: the late James Baker and Spencer P. Jones, whose legacy continues to echo through every note.
Formed in Sydney in 1983, The Beasts of Bourbon — now The Beasts — have long been a raw, loud, and vital part of Australian rock.

The as yet untitled album is due on US label JEM Records in early 2026. JEM issued “Come On in””, a part retrospective-part new release that re-introduced The On and Ons to the North American market. The band had put out a single with American label Get Hip.

It is with extreme regret that Chris Masuak has been forced to cancel his forthcoming Australian tour with Dog Soldier and Spanish dates with Los Revelators after emergency surgery to save the sight in an eye.
Chris was rushed into hospital in Lugo, Spain, on Monday after experiencing a week of deteriorating vision. A surgeon re-attached a retina and Chris is now at home recuperating.
He is under doctor’s orders not to fly and will need time to manage his recovery. Ticketholders should contact venues or agencies. Chris hopes to re-schedule the dates for early 2026 and his new CD, “Chris Masuak’s Dog Soldier”, will be released on I-94 Bar Records on November 7.
